charli's pov

       GUESS WHAT?, yup i'm in a dunkin donut store, again. it's always been my favourite since i was a kid, i don't know, i've just gotten used to their drinks and food that i can't seem to get myself to try other coffee shops or other bakeries.

       "good afternoon miss, what can i get for you?" the lady behind the counter asked me, as i smiled at her and told her my order, "uhm yes, i'll have a cold brew with caramel and whole milk please." she gladly took my order and i walked towards dixie who already grabbed a seat for the both of us.

       i sat across dixie, who looked jet lagged, "can we go to our hotel immediately after you drink your dunkin?" dixie asked, and i laughed, "don't worry, i'll be fast." i replied, and she just yawned, damn she really is tired.

       it has been a few minutes and my drink still hasn't been served, and i see dixie already snoring like a bear in front of me. i didn't bother to wake her up, since my drink still hasn't arrived, and plus i think she really needs a nap, even if it's just a short one.

       shit— all this waiting made me wanna pee, what on earth? i didn't even drink anything yet. i looked at dixie, who already seemed like she was dreaming about riding unicorns, no seriously, she might be. i asked myself, should i leave dixie to go to the bathroom? or should i wake her up and ask her permission? fuck this, i gotta blast, i already feel uncomfortable, and so i decided to just leave dixie while she's asleep, it's not like someone is going to kidnap her, she's scary.

       i hurriedly walk towards the dunkin donut's bathroom and much to my dismay, there was someone in line who was also waiting for their turn. i tried to get myself together, and tried to act chill even though my body is going crazy for me to pee.

       i know that i really need to go to the bathroom, but i couldn't help but recognise the curly haired person in front of me, and her brown hair? i normally never get attracted to curly haired people, except for one. fuck— charli get over her, she probably hates you right now because of what you did, i sighed.

       i don't know what happened, but the person in front of me might've felt how uncomfortable i was and how much i needed to go to the bathroom, because she faced me and smiled, "you can go first, i don't mind." kaycee?!

       my face expression quickly turned into startled and confused, "umm, i'm sorry, did i say anything wrong?" she started to get worried, i could tell, those eyes never fail to express.  due to my shock, i just nod, "y—yeah i'm fine, i just really need to go to the bathroom." i mumbled, trying not to sound awkward.

       she left her line, and offered it to me, and just in time the person who was inside the bathroom got out and i immediately ran inside the bathroom, catching a glance of her smile, before closing the door, the smile i fell in love with, the one that makes rainbows.

       i shut the door in front of me, and let out a huge breath. why now? why would fate bring us together now? is there really no better time? at this point i totally forgot that i even had to pee, my heart was beating so fast. she was still kaycee rice, the angel i had known and loved, but something was different. when i looked into her eyes, it almost seemed like she doesn't know me, like i was just a stranger to her.

       is she just pretending that she doesn't know me? is this her way of forgetting me? fuck, kaycee rice you're driving me insane.

third person pov

       for charli, kaycee was still the love of her life, but it was completely different for kaycee. she doesn't even know who she is, she doesn't know her name, her favourite food, her life, and importantly she doesn't even know that she loved her.

       for kaycee, charli and her were just perfect strangers.

| AUTHOR'S NOTE |
i was actually inspired by the song perfect strangers, for this chapter, it's a really good song, and i recommend it to those who still haven't heard it. sorry for not updating yesterday, i wasn't feeling myself yesterday, and i figured writing without feelings is like colouring a colouring book with a white crayon, and so that's why i just decided not to write. i can't believe we reached 11.2k+ reads you guys never fail to astonish me every single day. thank and love y'all. 💛
